WYSIWYG

Jul 24, 2009 in theocracy, Video

the next in my mini-vlog series at twitcam.com.

following from the previous vlog, i address the issue of user’s avatars and what they do not, inherently, represent. there’s really not a lot of insight in this one, but i think it needed saying. i hear far to many comments about how “hot” someone is, when the person commenting really has no way of knowing if the avatar truly depicts the person. it’s kind of silly.

Twitter: sincerity versus being ourselves.

Jul 23, 2009 in thoughts, Video

the next in my mini-vlog series at twitcam.com.

there is an element to social networking that some of us refer to as “the pretendy”. in essence, “the pretendy” is the fact that we never really know how much pretense lies behind what we place behind our online personas. not that total honesty is necessary or required, but when it comes to judging the quality of our interactions, “the pretendy” works from both directions and obfuscates things. i simply encourage you to give that some consideration.

in preparation for turning this site over to something that suits me a bit better, i have begun toying with some mini-vlogging over at twitcam.com.

This series of vlogs is about how atheists conduct ourselves on Twitter. Not that i think i need to tell anyone what to do, but because i’m a patttern-recognition guy, and i see certain patterns that lead to certain thoughts. i’m simply sharing those thoughts.
